The building, made of cream and red sandstone, was designed by Perth's city architect Andrew Heiton, who assumed his role some thirty years earlier.[1] He worked with another local architect, John Murray Robertson, on the project.[1] The hotel is a notable example of Scottish baronial architecture.[5]
Queen Victoria was a regular visitor to the hotel. She had breakfast there on her final visit to Perth in May 1900,[6] eight months before her death. She was in a wheelchair on that day.[6]
